Hamas comments on Trump's plan and sets a date to announce its response.

Mohammad Nazal, a member of the political bureau of Hamas, stated that the American plan has several observations, and the movement will announce its position on it soon, without much delay.

Nazal added in a television interview that Hamas received the plan attributed to Trump last Monday evening and began internal and external consultations the following day.

Nazal clarified that "it is our right as representatives of the resistance to express our observations on the American plan in a way that serves the interests of the Palestinian people," indicating that the movement decided to discuss it from the standpoint of stopping the war and massacres.

He continued, "It cannot be that the end is the forfeiture of our people's rights and the continuation of genocide," also noting that Hamas is in contact with mediators and Arab and Islamic parties, and everyone is serious about reaching understandings to stop the genocide.

He added that the movement does not operate under the logic that time is a sword hanging over its neck, affirming, "We are concerned with the interests of our people and stopping the massacre, and we will not allow it to continue."

Earlier, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aty stated that President Donald Trump's plan regarding Gaza still needs to address many "gaps" before proceeding with its implementation, pointing out that Cairo sees the necessity of further discussions on the mechanisms of application, particularly regarding governance and security arrangements.

Abdel Aty explained in statements made during his participation in a seminar at the French Institute for International Relations that Egypt is handling the file "with great caution," and that it is making direct contacts with Hamas to understand its position on the American plan.

He added that Cairo is coordinating intensively with Qatar and Turkey to persuade the movement to accept Trump's plan to end the war in the sector, saying: "We meet with them and coordinate with our brothers in Qatar, as well as with our colleagues in Turkey, in an effort to convince Hamas to respond positively to the plan."

Despite acknowledging the existence of "gaps" in the plan, the Egyptian minister warned that Hamas's rejection of it could lead to "an extremely difficult situation and serious escalation," but he emphasized at the same time that his country would not allow the displacement of Gaza's residents under any circumstances, considering that "any displacement practically means the liquidation of the Palestinian cause," and affirming that Egypt "will not allow that."

Yesterday, the French news agency reported that a source close to Hamas stated that the movement is seeking to introduce amendments to some clauses of the plan, including the disarmament clause and obliging its cadres and fighters to leave the sector.

A Palestinian official confirmed that Hamas rejects these clauses and seeks to obtain international guarantees regarding the complete Israeli withdrawal and the non-violation of the ceasefire.
